The General Plan amendment shown below (and as referenced by Attachment 5) replaces Program 6.1 of the General Plan Air Quality and Climate Change Element which had previously required preparation of a Climate Action Plan, with language to adopt the Climate Action Plan by reference. Program 6.2 is eliminated as greenhouse gas reduction strategies and targets are now included in the CAP. Program 6.2 (formerly program 6.3) is amended to recognize that the Construction and Demolition Debris Ordinance has been adopted. However, most of the language of this program is retained pending adoption of various new policies or regulations as outlined in the CAP supporting actions. When these actions are completed, staff will make additional recommendations to amend this section of the Air Quality and Climate Change Element.
